You are absolutely right, I should do this, but I can't because I need
my FreeBSD laptop for real work and can't compile every day my hundreds
of ports and build binary packages of them to install them on my smaller
EeePC (where you can't compile anything because of the speed).

I only wanted to update that IM because of the Yahoo problem. Anyway, I
have compiled from source and it works. I used the pkg-plist of the
pidgin-2.6.2 port to create a tar ball from what is installed in
/usr/local of pidgin which perhaps will work on the
EeePC as well.

Will do a full update around Christmas, when I have time for such a work
:-)

Thx for your hint anyway.
